The other modern equation used for correlation is the modified and linearized Wagner "" equation (2-30), which has the advantage that it will match critical data exactly, although it cannot be extrapolated above the critical point. The equation is also included with coefncients to several hundred compounds in the Technical Data Book—Petroleum Refining. 

For predicting liquid diffiisivities of binary nonpolar liquid systems at high solute dilution, Umesi " developed a method that only depends on the viscosity of the solvent (2) and the radius of gyration of the solvent (2) and the solute (1). The Technical Data Book— Petroleum Refining gives the method and values of the radii of gyration for common hydrocarbons. Errors average 16 percent but reach 30 percent at times. 

Because of the time and expense involved in conducting laboratoiy distillation tests of all three basic types, it has become increasingly common to use empirical correlations to estimate the other two distillation curves when either the ASTM, TBP, or EFN- curve is available. Preferred correlations given in the API Technical Data Book—Petroleum Refining (op. dt.) are based on the work of Edmister and Pollock [Chem. Eng. Prog., 44, 905 (1948)], Edmister and Okamoto [Pet. Refiner, 38(8), 117 (1959) 38(9), 271 (1959)], Maxwell Data Book on...

From the American Petroleum Institute s (API) Technical Data Book—Petroleum Refining, specific heats, specific gravities, latent heats of vaporization, and percent vaporization can be obtained, for a given oil, as a function of flash-zone temperature (percent vaporization and flash-zone temperature are functionally related because the flash vaporization takes place adiabatically). This suggests a trial-and-error procedure Assume a flash-zone temperature and the associated percent vaporization then make an energy balance to check the assumptions. Finally, complete the material balance.
